The Other Side [Village Exit]

And so his time in Konohagakure had come to an end. Though it had been quite productive. Not only was he allowed to enter the village without hostility, but he was able to enjoy a long period of rest with excellent hospitality. It had been times like this that he wished he never left Konoha to begin with. And leaving this time felt even more difficult. He had met a good friend in Ooetsu who taught him more in a day's time than anyone else ever had. The man had shown Auron understanding and mentorship, two things that a younger Auron needed. Yet still it was appreciated today. 

Adorning a new set of armor and blade upon his hip, the Yamaguchi's entire style had changed. Though he kept his previous robes in his possession, now he wore something much more tailored to him. A black compression suit, underneath a cloak and yukata which matched in color. The black and red tones from his new set of armor matched his personality and capabilities. The black symbolized his hidden away personality, as well as the Yamaguchi's clan dark arts. The red represented the fire that burned with him, which also happened to be the element matching his affinity. Lastly to top it all off, the kasa he bore on his head was now reinforced and something to be proud of. Instead of buying a new hat, he upholstered the old one he had due to its significance. And truthfully Auron couldn't be more proud of his decision in doing so. With Masamune on his hip, the boy felt like a proper shinobi.

Parading himself to the gates, Auron would motion goodbye to the guards that watched over it. In turn they'd open the massive gates and allow his departure. Though once Auron exited from Konohagakure, he'd wait just outside of the village for Grey and Cid to accompany him. Today was the day that the group had discussed setting out, but it seemed like he had been a tad early. Honestly waiting didn't bother he. Besides he figured Cid was likely hungover from a night of drinking and chasing tang, while Grey was either tagging along or training. While he waited, he'd simply fold his arms and observe the tranquility of the night time's atmosphere. It was peaceful, and the gentle kiss of the wind added to its serenity. It was a perfect time to begin a new journey.

When they would arrive, Auron would take a little time to catch up with them and inform them of the target that Ooetsu assigned to the group. After he did so, he'd recall the parting words between him and the Mizukage some time ago. It incentivized him to want to take the man up on the offer he previously issued to Auron.

"Hey guys if you want to handle that target, feel free. I need to take care of something first, but I will meet you guys back up here. Just make sure the body of that target is returned to Konoha. I'll see you guys soon though!"

Shikako Nara, a dedicated gate guard. She was mature in her decision making skills when it came to visits and departures. The Nara stood at the booth connected to the tower as she noticed the Yamaguchi striding towards the gates. It didn’t take a genius to determine he was leaving the village. With telepathic communication coming through from the Sensory and Communication core informing her moments before she could spot that he was tasked by Ooetsu to tend to something for the village. She accepted the information, her long braided pigtails would sway as she corrected her posture as she noted the wave. She would merely raise a hand back signaling to him that she acknowledged him and his departure of the village. Should the man be with the other two of his group she would also acknowledge their departure as well. Giving the younger one a little twinkle with her fingers, child-like play in the farewell.

Her gauntlet equipped to her right hand would rise to her face. She would channel the chakra needed to activate the authenticity of its owner to reveal a chakra radar to inspect the chakra of the individual. She could see them, small dots, two in red and one in red that blinks green. Clearly that one is Auron, he must be recognized as a fellow shinobi with wandering privileges. That was a first to her, but she could determine him clearly. Dismissing the radar she would open the gates to allow them departure.

The Nara would return to her booth and continue as normal.

Exit (Thought still at the gates)

Approved for both Auron and Shikako

The time had come, their time had come. Grey's stay in Konohagakure came to an end, new adventures awaited the Hyuuga swordsman and his companions. With a steady pace he made his way to the village gates, passing by one of the guards who he'd greet with a friendly nod before setting foot outside. "Sounds easy enough" he replied after Auron explained what was expected from them, finding a certain name with a target on his head. With no time to waste and possessing the information he required, Grey started to make his way to the borders, determined to take care of some business.

Cid would mosey his way over to the gates of Konoha, the man looking like he might have just woken up. The pirate would just scratch his head, a bit surprised that the village had offered the trio work. "Probably best not to look a gift horse in the mouth. Work is work." The tall redhead would place his hands in his pockets as he walked passed the gate guard. He'd offer a nod and a quick raising of his eyebrows, but her focus seemed to be on Grey. He'll even without the job I can think of a few reasons to come back here." He would mention quietly to his companion.

"Nice threads by the way!" The rogue would offer to Auron, "I don't think I could pull it off. Gives off samurai vibes."

They trio would part ways for bow, Cid not sure where his companion was off to, but if he didn't make it known it must not have been the pirates business, so with a shrug he would follow his brother in arms, Grey. The man seemed determined, a fire in him that the bandit hadn't seen for a bit.

This is gonna be fun...
